pudding and boughs



This holiday season is inspiring me to try new things, such as traditional christmas pudding. I found a lovely recipe here which requires steaming the pudding for 8 hours! and then to hang it for a week or more! those brits! What were they thinking? Anyhow, it should be a fun experiment. And it was a good day to have a pot boiling all day on the stove for this weekend it snowed! What a lovely winter treat.
I've also been feeling the spirit of winter in my desire to cover the entire front room with tree boughs and clippings. The snowy day was perfect for an idealic stoll through the park with a pair of clippers. Now all sorts of firs and greens and hollies are cheering the hearthstone.
Tis the season for tea and knitting! I love it!
